- Pro Tip Best call times are 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. "Cariocas" (Rio locals) value an informal and friendly start to meetings. Always spend a few minutes on social pleasantries. Avoid scheduling anything for Friday afternoon as the city begins its weekend transition early.

- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Punctuality is non-negotiable. DC is a "Power City"; be prepared for very formal protocols and the use of professional or political titles. Networking is a 24/7 activity here, but business calls should stay within 9-6.
